  • 1.  MAS - Maximo Manage - Need to remove the empty box icon when table has no rows in Manage.

    Posted Mon June 02, 2025 04:46 AM

    Hello Experts,

    In Maximo manage UI system, when a table section has no rows, it shows the empty box icon. e.g. RELATED RECORD tab in workorder.

    This empty box icon consumes too much space, so I am looking for suggestions on how to disable that icon, so it will take less space on screen and show more fields on the screen.

    Thanks.

    Hi Ritesh,

    The empty box icon is added using this CSS rule from maximo.css:

    tr.nrm td:last-of-type {
    background: url(../images/empty-placeholder.png) no-repeat 64px 32px transparent;
    height: 162px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

    You can easily override it according to your needs using "User interface customization" section in MAS Admin UI where you can add a CSS customization (available since MAS 9 only). For example, to simply hide the image, you can use:

    /* write your code here */
tr.nrm td:last-of-type {
    background-image: none !important;
}

    There is still blank space left though. You can play around more with margins, paddings, line heights, etc. It need be tested extensively to work consistently in cases with and without data rows. I hope you can find a suitable CSS with this guidance.

    Hi Ivan,

    Thank you for your response.

    Wanted to understand on how did you narrow down to this code?

    tr.nrm td:last-of-type

    Did you use inspect element in browser? or something else?

    FYI. I tried using inspect element in browser, but it did not help me. Not sure if I took wrong steps here.

    Thanks.

    Hi Ritesh,

    That's right, I used inspect element feature in Chrome browser.

    It does not always point to the right html element due to different ways of showing images in the webpage. In this specific case you should look through the neighbouring td elements to be able to find the one with the background CSS property.
